Spirits, Beer and Wine.

WASHINGTON, April l4.-Twenty or
more pages of the quarterly report of the
chief of bureau of statistics (ust out) are
devoted to "the consumption of distilled
and malt liquors and wines," and esti.
mates made by recognized authorities are
given upon various features of this sub.
ject. In round numbers the oonsump.
ton of distilled spirits, domestic end
imported, in this country is SHOWN to
have increased from forty-three million
gallons in 1910 to seventy-two millions
in 1886; of wines, from four million
eight hundred thousand gallons to
twenty-five millions, and of malt liqours
from twenty three to six hundred and
forty.two millions. The consumption
per capita during the same period
decreased, as regards distilled spirits,
from about two and half gallons to
about one and quarter gallons; and
increased, as regards wines, from twenty
nine hundredths to thirty.eight hum
dreths gallons, and malt liquors from
less than one and half TO more than
eleven gallons. An elaborate slstement
made by T. N. Barrett, editor of the
New York Grocer, by request of the
chief of the bureau, ia given, which sets
forth, among other things, that the
present aggregate expenditure in this
country, per annum, for malt and
spirituous liquors and beer at retail, is
seven hundred million dollars. The
drinking population is estimated to be
lin 1856 14,925, Alt, making an average
expenditure per capita of $45.90.

Fraudulent Bonds.

RICHMOND, Va, April l6.-Quite a
sensation was created here to-day in
financial circles and among State officials
by the discovery that an unknown quan.
tity of spurious Virginia bonds, known
as Riddleberger bonds, were for sale in
northern markets during the past two
days. Telegrams we're received here by
the banking and brokerage firms from
Boston and New York, asking for the
prices of Virginia three's of 1882, due
1882; interest January and July. The
numbers of the bonds being asked for, it
was found that there were no coupons
outstanding of the bonds named, which
gave rise to the suspicion that something
was wrong. A Boston firm then shipped
$4,000 of Virginia three's as described.
. These were received here this morning
and taken to the State officers for inves-
tigation. They were at once pronounced
fraudulent bonds, with forged names
attached. A New York firm offered a
similar amount to that of the Boston
firm, and a $1,000 bond of the same
description was received by another firm
of brokers, making in all $4,000 bonds
with all the coupons attached.
The explanation arrivedat is that
during the legislative session of 1882
the Kendall Bank Note company,
of New York, engraved bonds
for the entire issue of Riddleberger's,
under authority of the act known as the
Riddleberger act.
These bonds were we'll executed and
were accepted by the State, but we're
subsequently rejected and the contract
for executing the bonds was given to the
American Bank Note company, of New
York. The Kendall company, however,
shipped the bonds in three boxes. One
of the other two they took and paid
express charges on them. The first box
containing bonds of the denomination of
$1,000 each from No. / to 432 were
returned to New York. The Kendall
company refused to take them back.
It is now believed that this box of
bonds was sold by the express company
afterwards as an unclaimed package. 1t
evidently fell into the hands of sharpers,
who forged the name of DR.. Rively,
treasurer, and I. A. Smith second auditor,
and proceeded to dispose of them. 1t is
not known what amount Of the spurious
bonds are on the market. DR.. Rively
was treasurer, but I. A. Smith is a fiction.

Wade Hampton's Belief in Prayer.

The love and admiration in which he
is held by the people of South Carolina
are illustrated in an incident related by
Gen. Hampton when he was recovering
from his sickness.
81 am certain" he said, "that my life
was saved by the fergent prayers of the
people of South Carolina. l was at the
point of death and had lost all interest
in life, when / Ireceived letter from an
old Methodist minister, friend, telling
me of the deep and devout petitions put
up for my restoration to health by the
Methodist Conference then in session at
Newberry. The letter closed by begging
me to exercise my will to live in response
to the supplications of the people Of the
whole State, who were praying for me
night and day in every household.
When heard the letter read promised
my sister. that I would heed the kind,
loving words of the man of God, and
arouse my will to live. That night I fell
into deep sleep and dreamed most viv-
idly that I was in q spacious room in
which was moved To al parts of the
State, 80 that met my assembled friends
everywhere. remember most distinctly
of all old Beaufort, where had last been.
I saw immense assemblsges, and as I
looked down upon them grave person
age approached me and touched me on
the shoulder and said to me: These peo.
pie are praying for you. Live Live Y!
Live rlp never realized anything like
it before. 1t seemed vision. I woke
the next morning feeling the life. blood
creeping through my veins, and ] told
my family that the crisis was passed and
that should get better."-Z L. White

A Cyclone In Ohio.

CLEVELAND, o., April 15-A cyclone
passed over Belmont county this after:
noon, wrecking several farm houses and
barns, and doing considerable damage TO
churches and business blocks at St.
Ciairsville.
The county infirlnary barn, costing
$4,000, was completely destroyed. The
total loss is 5000, 600.
At Martins ferry, the residence of j..
II. Drennon, editor of the Nescs, was 80
badly used up that not one brick was left
on the other. L. W. Bailey's fine con-
crete residence was also leveled to the
ground, and Henry Holling's eight
houses, barns and sheds we're all destroy
ed. In the town proper, rs to 100 houses
were more or less damaged, and the loss
will reach $165,0OO. Walnut grove, q
fine park, has but few Of three hundred
lofty trees standing.
James Reilley's house and saloon were
blown down and Mrs. Reilley was pulled
unconscious from the ruins and may die.
Here the storm struck the town at 4 P.
NJ, without warning. Beside Mrs. Reil.
10y, the casualties reported are James
Reilley, her husband, saloon keeper,
both legs broken; Mrs. Wilhelm, collar
bone broken, Mark Davis, of Martin Fer
nv stove works, probably fatally injured; ;
q German laborer, whose name could not
bs learned, dangerously injured.
When the storm struck the Ohio river
the water shot up in perpendicular wall
about twenty feet and then fell back in a
frotby, aeethiug foam and simultaneously
q shower of fence boards, shingles, posts
ard timber, with seme large sections of
houses, fell in sheet on the turbulent
waters. The river for miles is strewn
with wreckage. Fairview schoolhouse,
one mile west, was totally wrecked, and
Miss White, the schoolteacher, was badly
hurt, and several families were rendered
homeless. Lafayette rink was engaged
by the city authorities as temporary
shelter for the homeless, and meeting
of citizens is called for at l o'clock tomor.
row afternoon to devise measures of relief.
Every minutes news comes additional
damage in the country, and it is safe to
say that the aggregate loss will exceed a
million dollars.

- Farming in one section of Newberry

men can be seen drawing plow, which
is guided by negro woman. These

working animal and are trying to raise a
crop by the most primitive mode Of cul-
tivation.

that he is the owner of the animal, says
he cannot take it away, and offers to sell

The Blackw0od Case.

AUGUSTA, GA, April 15.-A,torney
General ]. Il. Earle, Of South Carolina,
wss in Augusta all day Wednesday on
business connected with the alleged kid
mapping of Conger Blackwood from
South Carolina, by Police Officers Stone
and John McNally, one of the parties
upon whom he had rassed the forged
check. Yesterday morning he went TO
Atlanta to see Governor Gordon in
regard 10 the matter, but what transpired
between the two officials has not been
made known. 1t is supposed, however,
that the object of the visit to Atlanta
Was to demand of the State of Georgia a
satisfactory arrangement about the kid
mapping of Blackwood from South Caro-.
lima. From what can be learned here of
the affair it is evident the authorities of
South Carolina are taking steps to
preserve the liberties of her citizens and
vindicate her laws. The case is exciting
considerable interest here, and it is quite
probable that it will develop into liti.
CATION which will settle the rights of
Citizens Of the State of South Carolina,
also settle the right of the respective
States in such cases. In other words,
Carolina will attempt to have Blackwood
returned on account of the illegality OF
his warrant, and then if the Georgia
authorities want him for trial, his arrest
will have to be made through the regular
channel of law. 1t is novel case, in
this that the courts have uniformly
ruled that party may be tried, although
improperly brought into State where
the crime was committed, unless the
State from which the party was brought
demands redress for the grievance. It
will, therefore, be seen that the case is
not personal so far as Blackwood is con-
cerned, but must assume q form in
which South Carolina must become q
party to proceedings.
AS was predicted in this correspon.
dence, few days ago, the grand jury OF
Aiken county have taken steps in regard
to the manner in which Blackwood was
arrested, and brought to Augusta by
Stone and McNally, and today found a
true bill against each of them. Bench
warrants have been issued for both.
Your correspondent saw Stone at the
police headquarters to-nig ght. He says
the Carolina authorities will be unable
to get him 10 less than six months, as
the case is now pending against him in
Warren county superior court, he being
charged with assault with intent to
murder. Therefore, if the case is
brought up at this term of court,
Mentally only can be tried. Stone seems
to have no fears of being punished, as he
says he can positively prove that Black.

Prohibition In Texas.

The prohibition question is vapidly
assuming front rank among the political
issues Of Texas. The late Legislature
passed an act submitting this question
10 vote of the people in August. The
anti. .prohibitionists are organizing for
battle. Chief among them are ex Lieu.
tenant Governor Gibbs of Dallas, Hon.
Walter Gresham of Galveston, and poll.
ticians of lesser note, who have constisut
ed themselves a committee representing
the Democracy of Texas, and are inviting
prominent Democrats to attend meeting
on the 3Oth for the purpose of calling a
convention in May "to set forth clearly
and universally the time honored princi-
Piles of the Democracy in its opposition
to all forms of sumptnary legislation"
The Galveston Nesus, prints q letter
from Senator John a. Reagan, replying
to an invitation of the committee to
attend the coming meeting. Senator
Reagan's letter will produce genuine
sensation in the political world of Texas
He comes out squarely in favor of prohi-
bition, and deals the opposition some
hereulean blows from Democratic stand
point. Two years ago Mr.. Reagan stood
beside Senator Coke, Governor Ireland,
Congressman Mills and other prominent
Democrats in strenuously opposing the
growth of the prohibition idea, on the
ground that it was sacred principle Of
the Democracy to oppose sumptuary laws
of whatever character. Reagan's com.
plete change of views on this point sur.
prises even his nearest friends. After
picturing at length the wretchedness and
dishonof to be encountered in every
community resulting from the use of
liquor, the Senator says: II must ex.
press my regret that any effort has been
made to make party question of prohi-
bition, and especially do / regret that
Democrats should seek to identify that
great and grand historic party with the
fortunes and fate of whisky shop drunk
ards and criminals"

An Unpleasant Evening.

of high excitement by the riot alarm
being given. The cause of the alarm
was q telephone message from the peni.
tentiary asking the aid of the police and
military. The Governors Guards,
under the command of Capt Englehard,
assembled at the armory and thence went
to the penitentiary, half mile west of
the city, while the police and many citi'
zens also hastened to the scene Of trouble.
Your correspondent went there and
found the troops at the main entrance
awaiting further call from Col. Hicks,
the warden of the penitentiary. On
inquiry as to the cause of the trouble, it
was ascertained to be as follows: Just
before o'clock, while the convicts were
in the yard. negro prisoner named
Jim Lewis, from New Hanover County,
drew knife and MADE threats TO kill
anybody and everybody. The guards
surrounded hir, aud finally one of them
struck him such q sharp blow that he
dropped the knife. he was then seized
and taken to the hospital. As soon as
Lewis was struck some of the other con-
Yicts shouted that he was killed. Upon
this il appears the convicts made signs
as preparing for rush and the guards
ran fer their guns. 1t was not desired to
kill the .convicts, but to overawe them.
The convicts gathered in the rear of the
yard and blocked the corridors and
shouted andlyelled, but refused to enter
the cells. 5Thereupon call for the
police and troops was sent out. The
negro Lewis, who started the trouble, is
in fer life for rape, and is bad man.
An official at the penitentiary said that
he was no doubt the ring-leader in what
was plot for mutiny. The convicts are
so we'll and kindly treated that they have
become bold, and the people in the city
were greatly alarmed. To add to the
trouble the gas went out, and all together
i5 was decidedly an unpleasant evening.
The troops and police we're prompt and
cool. At this hour everything is reported
ouiet.

- The Darlington Mesus longs "for the
day when white man will be hung in
South Carolina for committing mur.
der" and takes the broad ground that
"the certainty of being overtaken by
retributive Justice is the only preventive
of crime" We do not desire the death
of any one, but it must be confessed that
there has been, and still is, fearful
inequality in the measurement Of justice
in this State.
